The sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the county record storage facility, 85 Young St., Hanover Township. The building is located across from the county 911 center.

To place a bid, prospective buyers must write the opening amount they are offering on a sheet along with incremental bid submissions, the county said.

Full payment must be presented the day of the auction through check or money order issued to Luzerne County. Credit card payments won’t be accepted, and all sales are final.

Vehicles may be picked up after payment and title transfer, and bidders must agree to assume all risks and hazards related to their purchases.
